Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers


Magico has just debuted its new model...the M9. Weighing in at 1000 Lbs ( pity those who have to move it) and being almost 8' tall!
Luckily, they are bringing this speaker in at a bargain basement price designed to appeal to the masses...and unlike the other models in their line, financing won't be needed. Yes, for just $750,000- you can own one of these new models. 
This is certainly looking like the new 'norm' for many speaker manufacturer's. Luckily most of us have this as pocket change...luckily.

They had to out Wilson Wilson. For $50 you can have a Sound Labs Ultimate 745 that will handily outperform the M9. At least it is better looking than the M7. 
@nekoaudio - Granted, global trade changes have affected prices. But really, don't you think Veblen's theory also has played a part? How else to explain wires for $10k and so on?
@mike_in_nc I wasn't trying to say that trade/economics is the only thing that factors into, or that has resulted in changes to, price choices or policies. I was only saying that many of the recent ones have been influenced by changes in trade/economics.

My followup post was intended to illustrate how those changes in trade/economics are wider and more influential that some might think.
